Setting up Unix TCP/IP Printing
For example, you could define a printer hp5l that prints to port
PS-142634-P1, and a printer hp5lt that prints to port PS-
142634-P1_TEXT
. You graphics files could then be printed to
the hp5l printer, and “raw” text files could be printed to the
hp5lt printer.
Printing from BSD Unix Versions
For “flavors” of the Unix operating system derived from or related
to the BSD releases, such as SunOS 4.x, Linux, BSD/OS,
FreeBSD, or NetBSD, you can use the following procedure to
enable users to print to a printer connected to your D-Link network
print server:
1.
Log in as the superuser (root).
2.
Add an entry for the print server in the host’s /etc/hosts
file, giving a hostname for the print server’s IP address. A
line in /etc/hosts contains an IP address and one or more
aliases for the host. For example:
202.39.74.40 ps-142634 ps-142634.dlink.com.tw
If you use DNS (the Domain Naming Services protocol), you
can add an address record entry to your DNS database for the
print server.
3.
Create a spool directory for the printer:
◊ On SunOS systems, create the directory as a subdirectory
of /var/spool, with the same name as the printer.
◊ On Linux systems, create the directory as a subdirectory of
/usr/spool/lp.
